Lyrics

Where Je­sus is there all is bright,
Only where Je­sus is,
There no dread clouds make dark the night,
Only where Je­sus is!

Refrain

Only where Je­sus is!
Only where Je­sus is!
Where Je­sus is there all is bright,
Only where Je­sus is!

Where Je­sus is love reigns alone,
Only where Je­sus is,
No room for hate, dis­trust or moan,
Only where Je­sus is!

Refrain

Where Je­sus is faith finds her wings,
Only where Je­sus is,
Beyond all doubt ex­ult­ant springs,
Only where Je­sus is!

Refrain

Where Je­sus is I fain would stay,
Only where Je­sus is,
For oh, my soul finds heav’n­ly day,
Only where Je­sus is!
